Discovery BoxDeuteronomy 12:15 
Context12:15 On the other hand, you may slaughter and eat meat as you please when the Lord your God blesses you 1 in all your villages. 2 Both the ritually pure and impure may eat it, whether it is a gazelle or an ibex.
Deuteronomy 33:2
Context33:2 He said:
The Lord came from Sinai
and revealed himself 3 to Israel 4 from Seir.
He appeared in splendor 5 from Mount Paran,
and came forth with ten thousand holy ones. 6
With his right hand he gave a fiery law 7 to them.
1 tn Heb “only in all the desire of your soul you may sacrifice and eat flesh according to the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given to you.”
2 tn Heb “gates” (so KJV, NASB; likewise in vv. 17, 18).
3 tn Or “rose like the sun” (NCV, TEV).
4 tc Heb “to him.” The LXX reads “to us” (לָנוּ [lanu] for לָמוֹ [lamo]), the reading of the MT is acceptable since it no doubt has in mind Israel as a collective singular.
tn Heb “him”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Or “he shone forth” (NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
6 tc With slight alteration (מִמְרִבַת קָדֵשׁ [mimrivat qadesh] for the MT’s מֵרִבְבֹת קֹדֶשׁ [merivvot qodesh]) the translation would be “from Meribah Kadesh” (cf. NAB, NLT; see Deut 32:51). However, the language of holy war in the immediate context favors the reading of the MT, which views the Lord as accompanied by angelic hosts.
7 tc The mispointed Hebrew term אֵשְׁדָּת (’eshdat) should perhaps be construed as אֵשְׁהַת (’eshhat) with Smr.
